Not a hard luck story, we just had an unfortunate combination of a calling station who was also a mega card rack at our table.
Here is how I realated it to a friend
myself wrote:bah, just card dead. won one very small pot, then picked up AK, hit the K, but lay it down on the turn as I put someone on the flush (they had 2 pair, which boated - bad read, good fold
).
Then overplayed top pair with an up and down straight flush draw to pull my stack down to 2k.
From there I was always going to have to get lucky, and I pushed all in (AQo) from the BB (300 + 1600 push) when there were 2 limpers in the pot. One of them was calling everything (and hitting mind you), and wanted him to call. He called, with JT, hit his jack on the flop. game over
meh, there is always tomorrow
Sat with ALK, and madcow's missus. There was some fairly decent poker played at the table - can't fault the big stack for limping in when was obviously hitting so much. I don't really like it myself
, but hey, that is my problem!

Ondie and Pete were both in with 6 tables remaining.
Your man was short stacked, Steve, but you just never know what Ondie will do ...

"I'm drinking beer. Pants down likely. Biggest stack is around 130k." 
Can't wait for the next update

15 left ...
Big hand just went down.
Pre-flop raise to 25k, with blinds at 4k/8k (not sure on the ante size).
Late position player moves all-in over the top.
MASSIVE think from the original raiser. Fair bit of back and forth verbal.
He calls, creating a 150k+ pot.
Re-raiser shows KK.
Original raiser tables 55.
Flop comes down .... xx5.
No help on the later streets, and the player holding KK is busted down to 1k.
